It’s a whole new Bonner-Prendergast.
New coach, new stars, new attitude, new style.
Billy Cassidy has already made a big impact on the Friars’ program in just the few months since his June hiring, the former Friends’ Central sharpshooter bringing in a ton of energy and a heaping dose of talent to create another team that has high hopes in the already-loaded Philadelphia Catholic League.
“You’re in a new environment, you’re surrounded with kids that have dreams and goals of playing at the next level and the highest level possible — being able to mesh all the different personalities, talents together, is the challenge that we’ve talked about since day one,” Cassidy said.
